Water Damage Palo Alto Repair Pros On The Job.

Safety First!

Avoid handling mold on your own. If you will have to start the job on your own, be careful.

Switch off the electricity. Before you do any type of work, turn off the electric to the areas you will most likely be dealing with.

Sorting Through The Damage.

Furniture. Any type of furniture which has been saturated should be discarded.

Carpeting. If your carpet has been saturated, get rid of it. The most effective way to get rid of it is to cut it into workable portions with a box cutter or knife. Roll up the pieces, leaving behind the padding, next chop the padding into strips and trash them also. Carpet is held down by wooden tack strips thin strips of wood lined with tons of upside-down nails. These can be extracted with a chisel and a hammer.

Sheetrock and Millwork . Any millwork, such as baseboards, should be removed and disposed of. Eliminate damaged Sheetrock and any moist insulation behind it.

Cabinets. If water has gone underneath your cabinets, you may need to remove these. If just a modest volume of water went beneath them, you may be able to spare them. You could drill or cut holes in the toe kick-- the bottom-most part of the cabinet that sits on the floor. The toe kick is a little recessed from the rest of the cabinet, therefore drilling into it will most likely enable oxygen to circulate under the cabinet and dry it out. These drill holes are pretty easy to mend when you start the renovation .

Floor surfaces. Just because your tile or hardwoods look and feel dry on the surface does not mean they are completely dry. When wood floors are layed down ,a layer of roofing felt is inserted in between the subfloor (plywood) and the hardwood flooring. This produces an outstanding moisture barrier for the floor covering. It also keeps a lot of the water that falls on the floor coverings. However, there is equipment that can take out the water through the floors without having to remove them. Reviews though about this process are not the best with this method. If water is still present once you try this, you will have to extract the hardwood floor covering. Ceramic tile commonly has the similar issue water can become trapped between the tile and subfloor so you might possibly need to remove your tile floors as well.

Disposal Time

Get A Dumpster: When obtaining a dumpster or another trash bin, get the biggest one available. The price difference between the various sizes is generally minor. Have a strategy ready prior to loading it up. You want to obtain the highest volume of rubble in the minimum amount of space.

Make sure you are able to open the door to the container, located on one end. When you put items over the very top, you won't be able to fill the bin effectively.

Put the less heavy materials on the deepest part.

Break down objects before you pitch these out, and verify that they lie flush atop one another.

When water has gone under your cabinets, you may have to remove these also. There is equipment that can draw the water through the floors without having to remove them. If water is still existing once you attempt this, you will have to extract the hardwood floor coverings.

Use caution when loading materials!
